Smooth Airflow: A gentle slope ensures smooth airflow through the duct, reducing turbulence, maintaining efficient air movement, lowering energy consumption, and keeping the system running efficiently.
A slope of 22.5° maintains consistent air pressure throughout the ductwork, ensuring optimal system efficiency, improving overall performance, and enhancing reliability.
Gentle slopes prevent damage or deformation of the ductwork, extending its lifespan, reducing the need for repairs, and lowering maintenance costs.
Smooth transitions with a 22.5° slope minimize energy loss, leading to lower energy bills and contributing to environmental sustainability.
Proper slopes reduce the risk of leaks and other issues, ensuring a safe environment and protecting both the building and its occupants.
If a gentle slope (22.5°) can’t be used, you can make the slope steeper only if you add dividers (splitters) inside the duct to guide the air smoothly around the bend. This keeps the airflow steady and efficient.
